So what did we think of tonight's show, I thought the documentary on Ayrton Senna was superb, unfortunately i was only 1 when he tragically killed, but watching those clips i thought what a driver, one handed through the streets of Monaco, Hats off there, and when Hamilton said he could take you to the exact spot when he found out Senna died, i thought it was all really moving and made me very sad watching all of it, F1 in those days was unbelievable and there was real talent to drive those 1200 BHP machines, today F1 is all about aerodynamics, the battles they had in the 80's and early nineties with Mansell, Pique, Villeneuve and Prost, untouchable, in my opinion, all the F1 drivers and teams ought to be ashamed of themselves on how the sport has been ruined with scandals, money and the fact that it is all pretty much down to the car and not the driver.

F1 today=boring

Yes.....Adam..agree...............loved the snow/ice mobile race........the whipping of the USA wannabe top road going car record holder(!?).......was a tinny bit annoyed at the Cruise/Diaz duet taking up a full 10 mins......and yes a very well done Senna tribute.

Great viewing all the same!

Couldn't have put it better myself Adam - I wasn't really into motorsport at all when I was younger, still not massively interested in it, if I'm honest (I'm expecting a beating now), and never really picked up on the whole Senna thing, but the feature really opened my eyes to F1 back then, and how different it is now.

Would happily let Cameron Diaz burn all the rubber off my rear tyres doing dougnuts in my 3200... (and I normally don't go for the blondes!)

I actually thought Tom Cruise came across rather well...

Yeah thought they were great guests, i could watch Senna all day, Schumacher can eat his heart out.

Amazing feet of engineering...But me no like either...but can appreciate it.

 

[Parisien]

Well the only good thing is that VW are only loosing £3.4 million per car now.........

I like the Veyron in all one colour but if it is in 2 then i only like Black with Blue front and doors or Black with red front and doors.

 

[ENZ525]

I love the veyron...the stats are just mind bending...now, where can I find a spare 1.6 mil
or where can I go for a ride in one...

 

[Andyk]

1.6 Million......Think how many lovely cars you can get for that,,,

 

[GransportFan1]

so you would buy one then Enzo?

 

[safrane]

One of the better episodes...still I think the Tom/Cameron times were fixed.

 

[ENZ525]

so you would buy one then Enzo?

Oh yes...

But that would mean I already had a stable full of other cars,
which would include a Maserati or two, a Ferrari or two, An Alfa or two...
a Lambo or two, an Aston or two, you get the idea...
so many wonderful machines, and so little time to drive them all.

 

[Andyk]

Yes Enzo, people who buy the Veyron usually don't want for anything...If yu can spend that amount of money on one car there would probablt be another 8 of so parked in your garage.

 

[GransportFan1]

for 1.6 million, i would own this.

 

[Andyk]

I would have the roadster version Adam...Just read about it in EVO...Amazing.

 

[ENZ525]

for 1.6 million, i would own this.

Oh yes...forgot to mention a Pagani...silly me!
